Our CoURrs.-Our courts are
technical to the last degree. They
would rather bury an issue deep
down in the moldering dust of fossil
lied decisions, than bring it out into
the sunlight Of common sense. They
are anti-quarians, who go back into
American jurisprudence for their
precedents, which were stolen from
English Jurisprudence, which fich-
ed theirs from French jurisprudence,
which in turn robbed the old Roman
books to obtain theirs and IN those
Roman books is recorded the murder
|of Savior in whom was found no
sin. In this search among the bones
of dead men they forgot entirely the
merits of question, and accept as
infallible the decision of some old
fossel who was not half as capable of
giving a good guess upon the subject
as they themselves are. 1t has been
said that law is the sum Of all wisdom.
If that be so, the wisdom of all the
ages needs very badly to go to school
and learn its addition table. Foot

A friend asks us if there is any
foundation for dirty SANDER which
has been started here to the effect
that Delegate-elect Dubois, while
here, declared that he was opposed to
the Edmunds- Tucker bill. There is
just this much foundation for it all.
lie said when here that Idaho people
would prefer, so far as their Territory
was concerned, to live under their
own test oath rather than to run the
chances of Mormons taking the oath
prescribed in the Edmunds- Tucker
bill. That is, Dubois was dissatisfied
with the blll because it was not, in
his Judgment, severe enough to meet
the requirements OF the situation.

the discoverer is not restricted as to

its length. Another finding, which is

reviving dead letter statute simply
